Camper & Nicholsons International (CNI) are experts in every area of yacht charter, build, design, brokerage, charter management, yacht management and crew placement. One of the great pleasures of sailing is the tremendous sense of freedom it affords, but every aspect of life has an impact on the planet, and travel is no exception. In order to protect this heritage, CNI continue to operate as a CarbonNeutral company in partnership with TCNC, this providing clients with the glamorous experiences they have come to expect, while at the same time keeping a conscientious eye on the environment.

CNI have measured the source and level of greenhouse gases that they produce from all their activities and continue to reduce emissions. There will always be a degree of unavoidable emissions but, thanks to TCNC, since 2005 CNI have been offsetting these emissions by soaking up equivalent amounts through new forestry and ‘green energy’ schemes around the world. CNI can make your next charter a little ‘greener’ by measuring and ‘neutralising’ the CO2 associated with the fuel burned by any yacht.

Greencare H2O Ltd is the fast growing provider of P.O.U water coolers in the UK. Our current market share is in the region of 10,000 installed machines. We are a specialist provider of P.O.U coolers and we do not promote or supply bottled water coolers due to their negative environmental impact. We have a national sales and service infrastructure across 6 UK sites.

P.O.U coolers are the 'Green' alternative to bottled water. Groups like Greenpeace have confirmed the damaging ecological impact of bottled water. The energy cost of producing a billion plastic bottles from by-products of crude oil, transporting the water over hundreds or thousands of miles and then disposing of the containers in landfill sites or incinerators makes bottled water one of Britain's most wasteful luxuries. One recent study calculated that the bottled water industry in the UK generated annually about 33,200 tons of carbon dioxide emissions through transport - equivalent to the annual energy consumption of 6,000 homes. By replacing your bottled water coolers Greencare H2O can help substantially reduce your carbon footprint. We also have the tools to help you document these savings and can provide you with Qtly reports on estimated reductions of CO2 through the replacement of bottled coolers.
